## Resource

Hideo Kojima’s PHYSINT is now an Xbox exclusive. Wow. PlayStation Studios reportedly informed Kojima Productions in June that it was canceling its involvement with the project, leaving Kojima searching for a new partner.Three months later, Xbox has officially announced that it will publish PHYSINT, expanding its partnership with Kojima Productions beyond OD. Kojima says the team remains committed to redefining the action-espionage genre, while Xbox says its relationship with Kojima Productions will also expand into film and television.Let’s talk about what happened, why this is such a surprising move, and what it could mean for PHYSINT, Xbox and PlayStation going forward.
